Year-end round up meme
Jan. 1st, 2014 07:26 pmI'm way behind on the December meme and will start catching up again soon. I ran into holidays, then vacation to recover from a fairly stressful couple months. Looking back, this was not one of my better years for fannish energy or production (or non-fannish, for that matter). Kind of sucks; I enjoy creating fannish stuff, but I started a lot of things in 2013 and didn't finish nearly enough of them. I'll try to break that trend this year. (Spending two weeks on codeine probably didn't help, I have to say.)
Finished works:
( Cut because I had 13 of 'em. )
This year, I was also lucky enough to receive podfic of my work (for the first time ever; whee!):
SisterofWar podficced And Sinister (X-Files/Greek myth) and Blood Like Wine (HL/Blood Ties) for me. If you enjoy podfic, go, try them! And if you enjoy these in particular, please leave feedback!
I have to say: I am pleased with the pieces I finished and posted. Most of those are damned good; the series are coming along well and the OCs are interesting. (I had no idea I knew Ish's student Hadassah and I didn't know Leverage was involved in that mess of Ysoka's. I just knew I had no idea where to write fic with her.) But 13 stories is probably my lowest annual count ever.
As to the unfinished stuff, I've written a lot more on various long fics (Depth of Field/Southern Comfort; The Veneer Job; Paving Stones) and started a couple Haven fics (one's almost done), a sequel to Killa's Waylaid, a HL/Dresden Files crossover that needs work, a crazy X-F/Buffy fic that I had almost forgotten. I have a lot of stuff that got started, stopped for whatever reason... and then forgotten. In all seriousness, if we talked about a fic I had in progress last year and you're looking forward to it -- please comment and remind me about it. Even if it's just what fandom and anything of the conversation you remember. I was so low on spoons last year that I don't remember writing some of the stuff I'm finding.
Mostly, though, I need to just write more and finish more stories. ::amused:: So I think I'd better go put in some words. I'm also going to limit my time on Tumblr or games.
However, it's a year end/year beginning meme. That was the year ending. For the year beginning, I wish us all a better year than last year, with energy and joy, friendship and love. I'm glad to know you all.
